P: Generative Remove Feedback (Lr Classic & Lr Eco)

There is a strange effect happening with all removal tools, limited to just this photo. Applies to cloning tool, healing tool, and generative removal tool. The arm is removed, but it is left with a lighter silhouette. 

Edwards AFB Hanger Original:

Edwards AFB in Palmdale, CA, had an open house.  One of their active planes was in a hanger and next to the fuselage was a yellow staircase.  Overall am I pleased with the outcome?  Yes.  Is it perfect?  No.  Maybe with PS.  I never took to PS.  Is it useable?  Yes.

And here’s a tip:  Be more than willing to take your time.  Use the Remove tool in smaller bites.  Instead in attempting to encircle the object(s) you want to remove try punching “dots, then expand and after every edit, reset by going to the Library then back to Develop.

Make it so that I can select an Area as a REFERENCE so that the Generative Remove AI can study that area, and generate something akin to that. Instead of making it hallucinate and make up things that does not fit into a scene - especially when editing something like a blurry background with faults that need to be removed/edited out.

Kannste in Tonne werfen ,sorry ,aber was nicht funktioniert braucht kein Mensch.

Another simple task with a terrible outcome. Shot of car on highway, trying to remove car behind. Car behind is gone but master car has been altered to look like a car crash or a Ferrari Luce. Miserable execution. What happened to the I in AI?

I’m having a problem with Generative Removal when I select multiple objects at the same time.
In the “Before” image, all the elements I wanted to remove are marked in red: several fence lines and the sign on the right side of the image. As far as I could tell, the selection was cleanly defined and clearly visible. However, the result shows that the removal didn’t work reliably. Some sections of the fence weren’t removed cleanly, especially near the horse, and the sign didn’t disappear properly either. In some cases, it looks as though the selected areas simply vanish without the selected object actually being removed correctly. I fully understand that a large selection takes more time, and I have no problem with that. What’s really frustrating, though, is when the process takes a long time, but the result is unusable afterward, and I have to repeat the same step multiple times until it might finally work. It would be very helpful if Generative Removal worked more reliably when multiple areas are selected at once.
 

in fact two issues: 1/ people removal leaving light colored shadows. 2/ subsequently - these shadows can’t be removed with any additional tool - heal, stamp, etc.. looks like these tools just take original photo content, and can’t be switched to work on portion of already altered image. so unless you run Photoshop you can’t get rid of these in Lightroom Classic.

Why does it have such a hard time with objects intruding from out of frame? It consistently fails to remove objects that originate out of frame.

Here’s the before image.

And here is the after image:

It mangled the skateboard, but it didn’t do anything useful.
